Various things (as the emails between me and my boss are always titled)
1. I'm back (in case anyone noticed I was gone!) from 12 days volunteering at the Cheltenham Lit Fest, which was an amazing, if exhausting, experience (12 fourteen-hour days straight). Got to meet very many very cool people, and very many very famous authors (and had tea with Ruth Rendell, eee!).
2. Numb3rs 502 and 503:
502: Colby to David: You gave her our distress word?
Could they possibly be any more of an old married couple?!
503: Oh my God, Colby, did you recently sustain a terrible head injury?! What - what - just, what? With the girl (and what's up with stargate people showing up in all my other shows? First the Orici in this, then Michael in Criminal Minds...). Also, thanks so much for dropping a fully-formed angst-filled story in my head, in which David berates him for cheating on Lorne (who is, hello, offf risking his life, way to be a supportive partner) and refuses to lie to Lorne about it. At which point Colby is forced to confess and... yeah, much angst ensues.
3. Criminal Minds 403: So Emily was raped, right? That's where they were going with that? So how come the end was all about Reid? Grr. That said, Emily was so, so cool in that episode. I really wasn't sure about her at the beginning, but I totally love her now.
4. I have 2 fics to write before the end of this month (one for angopollyanna and one for -la-la-la) of which one will definitely be done and one... will be done shortly after. Sorry, _la_la_la - I was planning to write one while I was away, and, well, see 14-hour days, so I'm a bit behind. But it's in my head, swear.
5. Atlantis, last two episodes (forgotten what number they're on, sorry): Where are all the fics about (a) Rodney griping about John blowing up the gate room in his absence and (b) John being all angst-ridden about how Rodney keeps literally disappearing before his very eyes, a la all the fic with the reverse from season 1?
Also - could we *please* be done with (a) Carson randomly reappearing (why can't he go off and be dead, already?) and (b) the Jennifer-Ronon-Rodney love-triangle or whatever it is? I so so want it to turn out that Keller's "actually, I'm interested in someone else" means Teyla or Dusty or, hey, how about John? Who, sorry Rodney-fans, is far more attractive and pleasant that Rodney. I mean, since she can't be interested in Ronon, who really seems like an actual good match for her, if she must be paired off with *someone*.
OK, I'm done now
